Abandoned Dog Found Caring For Two Kittens Like Her Own Puppies

All too often we don’t give animals the credit they deserve for being incredibly compassionate and caring beings. We overlook their ability to feel emotions and comprehend situations, but nearly everyday we find an example of an animal who is proving us all wrong. One such animal is this abandoned Yorkshire terrier.

Houston-based photographer, Robyn Arouty was told by a friend that a dog and two kittens had been found abandoned in a neighboring yard. Arouty wasted no time calling a friend who is connected to a rescue organization. She then grabbed her camera and set out to meet these three abandoned animals. On her blog Arouty writes, “just when you think you’ve seen it all,” and introduces the Yorky who has become the foster mother to these two kittens.

Left alone together in a small crate, these three animals had no idea why they were there or what would become of them.

But clearly, confusion gave way to motherly instincts in no time.

The Yorky had recently given birth and took to nursing the kittens as if they were her own.

Regardless of the difference in species or even appearance, this doting mother vowed to protect her kitten charges.

The kittens had truly become her own.

Arouty describes the dog as, “Compassionate and loving. And doing all the motherly things.”

The Yorky and two kittens have been taken in by Buster’s Friends Rescue and are awaiting adoption into a new forever home.

The mama Yorky has been named Duchess and her two kittens, William and Kate.

The USDA announced plans to possibly begin planned inspections of facilities that use animals, as opposed to the typical unannounced visits they conduct that give a far more accurate assessment of the conditions and practices in such facilities.

Monmouth Beach, New Jersey has unanimously voted to implement a ban on single-use plastic bags, straws, food containers, and takeout Styrofoam boxes in the shore town. The ordinance was introduced last month and will take effect on June 1, 2018, when, as activists emphasize, the comprehensive plan to try and eliminate plastic waste will start benefiting one of the town’s most important assets, the beach.

The Missouri Senate recently passed an omnibus bill which forbids plant-based meat substitutes and lab-grown products from being labeled using the word “meat.” If this bill is signed into law by Governor Eric Greitens, Missouri will become the first state to have such legislation.

So amazeing! I hope they stay together. I found two kittens a week old abandoned. I bottle fed them 4 months. Kept them in a cooler with a blanket with heat pads underneath the blanket so they think they were with thier mother. I couldn't separate them. I've had them 10 years next July. I named them Samson and Delilah. I also adopted two pet bulls. If I could afford more animals believe me I'd have a yard full.
